Gal, it is a very sad story. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> It is certainly a broken woman, to behave like that, and she only deserves pity.
For you, people with headaches: It is not so sure whether it's a symptom or a cause, but when you have a headache you have a hight blood pressure in the head and the blood vessels there are very dilated, so taking means to lower that may help. If you never tried, put a headband or a scarf around your head and do it up very tight; it will slow the blood circulation and might help. Some componants are known to make those blood vessels dilate and thus trigger headaches: nitrates (found in high level in saucages & delicatessen), thyramine (found in chocolate), monosodic glutamate (sp?). If you use to drink coffee, not taking some does that effect too. A lot of headaches & migranes are triggered by muscular tensions in the neck/head so taking care of it may help too. Also, doing a nap when you don't have headaches is known to trigger headaches as well. If you like natural remedies, you can drink a birch bark tea; it contains salicylates, the active agent in aspirin (that's where it comes from, btw). Chewing the bark directly is even more efficient, but it's a bit less fun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Bad news: annoying weather, playing yo-yo for at least a week and a half Good news: I have quite all my Christmas presents by now, and they're quite all ready to give! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" /> In how many sleeps will it be Christmas yet? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
